I wanted to share my writing from one of my favorite NCTE sessions. The topic was Risking Writing, and in it, Shanetia Clark, Mary Lee Hahn, Heidi Mordhorst, and Patricia Hruby Powell, talked about and demonstrated the process of writing in front of an audience. I have done this on some school visits and in […]
